Hi all,
First of all i just bought this phone yesterday, i was an samsung galaxy sl user, now im new here and hope you are all good.
When i bought my phone it wasnt updated to the last update and it looked very smooth and fast, but when i came home i connected to pc and updated to 6.1.A.2.55 version and i cant see my phone working so smooth it lags sometimes...
Any idea what can this be maybe someone faced this problem earlier, is there any way to downgrade to an stock rom because i use it so much and i need a stock rom not a custom with bugs, is there any smooth fast stock rom ?
Thanks in advance.
Download the Stock ROM of 0.45/ 0.50 from here. XDA File Server. Get Root and remove the bloatwares, Your phone should run a lot smoother than before.

Hello to everybody in forum.
Yesterday i want to buy a Xperia SL but the vendor said me that phone is bricked. the info that he gave is the follow:
I am selling a bricked Sony Xperia SL - LT26ii for parts and repair.
The phone gets a power signal when you connect via usb on but it does not work.
The Sony logo appears "sometimes" when you power it on but that's after a full charge.
It will not go into boot mode, the original operating system was deleted.
The only light in the corner is the orange light to show that it is charging.
I dont know when he say the original operating system was deleted.
it does exist any solution for repair this phone when only i have this information

As the Sony logo is appearing its just a soft brick I guess.

Cheers, LL13-
Hi,
Plz before posting search.
- Stock, means that is the original ROM from Sony
- No brand, means there no modification from any provider
- .FTF, this type of file can be flashed with flashtools
So with this Rom you can't unSimLock your phone you have just the original rom from sony
I hope that help you

Hey i am getting an acro s very soon and was on the forums checking here. There seems to be no roms that are being developed that is good for the phone. Xperia S roms can work but you won't get the memory card to function. From what i have heard the phone performs excellent with the stock sony rom. Acro s isn't sold everywhere in the world that is why we might not see much custom roms for it.
Actually you hav 2 rom that are fully working for XPERIA ACRO S :
STOCK LT26w 6.1.A.2.50 Modded by Pims 83 that work with locked bootloader
or
Erachter ROM v5.1 but you need an unlocked Bootloader
that all for now

Yes, but be careful about flashing the baseband, or you might not be able to get a signal (happend to me when I flashed a Taiwanese Ftf onto my Acro HD). Either exclude the baseband, or have an ftf of a Docomo rom handy, and flash just the baseband from that if it doesn't work.
I'll give it a go then.
Thanks
I've installed it, worked perfectly. Then I got the message there was an update, so I installed that as well, no more connection to my provider.
Luckily I had a Docomo firmware at hand, flashed the Docoma baseband and now everything works perfectly without the Japanese apps on it.
Thanks.
Since I flashed this ROM, I can no longer enter flash mode to load another ROM with flash tool (I push vol down while connecting to the USB, it just starts charging)

Odd, never had that problem. Did you start flash tool with the phone pluged into the USB, then turn it off and unplug the USB before turning the phone off?
I let flash tool running, unplugged the phone an powered it down

it is a bad idea to flash an LT15i iberia ROM to a LT15a (the letter "a" means "American"), while the "i" stands for Internacional (i think).
They have another radio frequency that renders them completely incompatible with european ROMs
You'll have to flash back a LT15a ROM, and pray for it to re-survive LOL
Hello,
I've tried to root my S0-03D several times already, and I only managed to do so once...
Anyways, even when I managed to Root it, the Phone changed from Acro HD to Acro S.
Due to that I lost signal...
I always keep flashing my phone back to 'Stock 2.3.7 Docomo', and by doing so I can get an official 4.0.4 update.
Is there a way to Root the Acro HD while in 4.0.4 ?
Without downgrade or changing it to the non-japanese version?
I've spent a week already on this and I'm about to give up...
Right now my phone is, yet again, on Stock 2.3.7 Docomo, everything works. full Signal.
I can root it with the instructions given on the site but again, I get an X above the signal bar.
Lets say I do it again, is there a way to make the 4.0.4 Rooted Acro S => back as an AcroHD ? still 4.0.4 while keeping the root ?
Thanks in advance.
For iCS 4.0.4 have you tried this??

I have... I always get the restore/backup file not found within the system/app error.
Even when installing the apk's, it doesn't work... Is there a way to push the files into the system ? without rooting your phone, can you change files within the root directory ?
I also tried option #3 (for newer devices), but after a while I just closed the cmd window - didn't seem to do anything...
I'm running Win 8 x64... should I run it as Admin? as Win XP app. ?
1. I tried just pressing the file, which led me to the backup.apk not found.
2. running the file as Admin doesn't seem to work...
3. and running CMD as Admin and going to the dir:\runme ENTER doesn't work as well, same as the 1st option.
Anything else I should try with this method ? I guess its working for European acro S but not for the Japanese one
4. I tried the 5 step (*.bat files) method which didn't work and seemed too complicated with the error windows popping up all the time.
5. and the 2 step method, which actually worked, rooted my phone and gave me 4.0.4 but, Acro S with no reception/signal.
I'm gonna update to 4.0.4 again via the pc companion...
from 2.3.7 - 6.0.A.5.12
to 4.0.4 - 6.1.F.0.106
I'll try that method again X_X"
This is what I did now after I ran it:

I tried editing again, this time : system-app-Backup-wizard.apk (changed 3 entries I think)
but got the same result... after I press the RESTORE button nothing changes in the CMD...
Unfortunately there's no way to push the restoreback apk in to system/app without root access. I don't have and ACRO HD, rather i had Xperia S.
Wait for some one who has ACRO S or ACRO HD to reply.

I've noticed what you said on another thread and...
You think that if I'll unlock the bootloader I'll be able to root ?
I've got 0.106 after all ...
Is there anyone who tried Option #3 ? (for new devices)
Can I just downgrade the kernel to 0.55 or 0.50/45 so I can root it and then re-upgrade to 0.106 ? (not sure if its possible, and if so, how?!)
Again, thanks :good:
EDIT:
Also, I've checked my Rooting status and it says: Bootloader unlock allowed: NO.
It said YES before I started all the flashing... I guess that updating it to 4.0.4 via PC Companion, locks the bootloader. X_X
Does it means that I can't root my phone?
Unless I flash it?
EDIT2:
I've created my own *.ftf so I'll try to root again...

Glad to hear everything went well.
I was following your posts in the [Guide] Sony Xperia acro HD KDDI IS12S and docomo SO-03D root thread.
I haven't been around much to help with questions new users might have so if you could share your knowledge or help with some questions that would be great!

No prob.
Though in the upcoming weeks we should get a new official JB update ..
I guess the procedure of rooting it will be the same...
you should start a japanese QnA thread or just a simple japanese general thread and share what worked for you specially because your acro hd doesnt have its own dedicated forum, since it was made specially for the japanese market [though i think one could be made as a subforum here in s-acro s-ion forum]
us filipinos have a philippine thread in the general forum and everybody shares what worked for their device so that others could learn too
I'll just post the steps here :
1. if you have 2.3.7 just connect to the computer to get the official 4.0.4 via Sony PC Companion.
2. once you have 4.0.4 just back it up by following the steps in this link:
http://mytechencounters.wordpress.com/2012/06/12/how-to-create-an-ftf-file-of-your-xperia-ics-firmware/
That's how to create your own Official 4.0.4 with the japanese kernel/firmware.
3. Once you created your own 4.0.4 FTF file continue to this link:

There's a list of files in both sites, download everything just in case...
You'll end up with 3 *.FTF files ...
1. The one you baked - Acro HD 4.0.4 - to keep the official japanese kernel
2. The generic - Acro HD 2.3.7 - for root step A
3. the easy to root kernel - Acro S 4.0.4 - for root step B
According to this I don't think you lose any of your data but be sure to back it up just in case ...

Hi guys,
VERY new to the Android world so appreciate your help. Just got a new Xperia SO-03D from NTT in Japan and am looking to root my phone after reading about it.Tried several "one-click" rooting solutions found on youtube and neither worked. From what I can tell, many solutions were done on ICS 4.0.4 with older build numbers but the one I have (6.1.F.0.128) seems to be too new to have any solutions that works? I then stumbled upon this thread and before I venture onto what looks like a more complicated way to root this phone, does anyone know if this should work with the build number? In case anyone is wondering, I am in Japan and plan to stay with Docomo. However, I don't read Japanese (yet) so am leary to try solutions posted by Japanese developer community. Appreciate any help you can provide!
By the way, I did backup my phone via PCCompanion so if I try and fail (and brick the phone), I should be able to bring it back right? Company phone so can't afford to brick it for good

There's a list of files in both sites, download everything just in case...
You'll end up with 3 *.FTF files ...
1. The one you baked - Acro HD 4.0.4 - to keep the official japanese kernel
2. The generic - Acro HD 2.3.7 - for root step A
3. the easy to root kernel - Acro S 4.0.4 - for root step B
According to this I don't think you lose any of your data but be sure to back it up just in case ...

I don't wanna just copy-paste what these guys wrote and take credit for it so... just visit the links

Just do whats written here, if you cant understand Japanese just use {Google Translate}
Thank you very much for your reply.
A friend suggested another one-click solution and this one actually works. Since I'm a noobie, the forum won't let me post the url. If anyone else needs it, try googling xperia hagurekamome rootkitv3.
I was able to root the phone and installed Titanium to verify root. Just drop the link into google translate and it's pretty simple like other one click solutions. Hopefully this is helpful to someone later too.

Good evening.
What do you mean by "jelly-bean 96" ?
You mean *.96 ?

You can try to backup your phone first and then roll-back to 2.3.7 with the PC application.
after that do the 4.0.4 update and create your own *.ftf file:
after that you simply flash it while mixing it up with the 4.1.2 *.ftf, keeping what you need from your official update, so it will work with your provider. (get cellular bars, etc.)
Just go through the links I provided or search for my old messages on the forum, I'm sure you'll find a fix.
btw, do you have Acro HD or Acro S ?

This thread is for people with ACRO HD
ACRO HD => japanese version
ACRO S => other countries
Its easier to flash ACRO S, and it still get updates from time to time.. unlike the japanese ver.
So you should have it quite easy, rooting the flashing your phone... If I'm not mistaken Acro S got an official JB update...
try some other threads ... and you can root/flash/update easily with 1 click softwares ...
just search the forum
Have a nice day

It is not possible to install 4.4 ROM's without unlocking bootloader. What problems are You having while following Sony instructions?
No! Don't try install any Kitkat ROM without unlock your bootloader... Ok?...
Because you need flash the Modded Kernel maded especially to this KitKkat Android OS can work with it.. without it anything work's... And with this especifique kernel the rom dont have any random resets and bootloop =D

Ah, Since You have "Allow to unlock bootloader = No", You cannot unlock Your bootloader, and there is no possible way to unlock it. You can always try ROM built for locked bootloaders.

andriod kitkat 4.4.4
hi there....can u tell me how to install Kitkat 4.4... on my xperia acro s

man i have done it twice with that instructions and unlocked successfully .
bluetooth problem with AOSP 4.4.4 rom
1st of all i'd like to thank everybody who worked on this project and appreciate their work and
say that it seems the blue tooth does not work well because personally i have problems with my cars
head unit (pioneer deh-8950bt) .
every thing is ok from connecting to syncing contacts but there is no voice on calls just a i can hear
something like hummm and noises.
i didnt have this problem with stock rom.
and i had a hang while was on camera for a long period without taking a photo (just once).i dont use camera usually.
p.s : having less than 10 posts does not show im an idiot !
my phone :
sony xperia acro s
kernel 96
rooted
unlocked bootloader via flash tool
rom : 4.4.4 ASOP
link to thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785450
I can confirm this problem: listening to music via bluetooth works, but not handsfree.
I checked with a Sony MW600, an Arctic P311 and a Belkin Air Cast Auto.
When trying to make a call, only strange hissing sounds can be heard.
But there's another, much bigger problem with this rom:
After a few minutes of heavy usage (e.g. some websites, navigating with GPS) the phone freezes, the screen turns a strange yellow-red color and the phone reboots. It then enters a boot loop. Only after letting it cool for a few minutes will it start up again.
This happens from 0 to 10 times a day.
Apart from this, the rom is great.
Cheers,
Johannes
bluetooth problem
Hi
I love this rom - its so fast, but i have a problem with bluetooth and my jvc car unit. When i try to call by car unit i only hear noise - nothing else. I had this problem on AOSP 4.4.3 and on 4.4.4 also.
Have you any idea what is the problem? Thanks for your reply . Your work is great.
I found a possible reason for the frequent crashes. The CPU was overclocked to 1,8GHz by default. I never changed the clock speed and only found out after installing Setcpu.
At 1,6GHz the crashes have stopped.
Is that behaviour intended or a bug?
Cheers,
Johannes
Please say me how you installed rom,I installed CWM and my phone is rooted but i can t enter in recovery mode on my acro S
I do not like lollipop at all as i believe it has slowed down my phone.
Can i get a guide how to downgrade ? Thanks

What's wrong with flashtool?
https://github.com/Androxyde/Flashtool
Download button is on the right hand side underneath 'Clone in desktop' button... This will flash anything anywhere anytime.... just put yr Kk ftf file into the Flashtool firmwares folder and it will show up as a choice to flash.... Job Done
Or.... you could download the Android SDK and use adb to flash your ROM but there's a bit more to understanding how to work with a CMD window opened in platform-tools folder to run the adb.
https://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/index.html
If you have a Z1 compact I find it odd that you have a slower device with lollipo on board.... or is it stock lollipop...? Custom lollipop ROM's run like the wind on my Z1 cos there's no bloat to clog it up and fill up the RAM.... minimal Google apps ensure it runs fast and the control over how yr handset runs is yours.... not Googles

Hello, thanks for your reply.
I downloaded the flashtool (zip file) and tried to open it but it gives me a error when i attempt to run ''Flashtool.exe'' (under ProgramExe file)
"i have already a kitkat ftf file but not a workable flashtool."
This makes it sound like you've got a 'broken' flashtool .... ..... but I'm now guessing you've never used one before and that is why it's not 'workable'....?
If you've never used flashtool before then you need to read thru the thread at the beginning of this forum in the General section.

Hello, thanks for your reply.
Yes, i am new to the flashtool stuff. Before this i manually updated my mobile phone to lollipop ugrade with a step by step approach.
The file you provided i could not open it. I will take a look in the thread you provided.
Update : I managed to use ''sony mobile flasher by androxyde'' to put a kitkat firmware on my phone and it succeeded.
I just dont know if this version i put is the official one. If you could give me a link to the official kitkat version for z1 compact(yes i searched but couldnt find anything) it would help a lot.

Is it running sweetly.... no problems...?
Where did you get the KK ftf file...?
Does the Sony logo start at boot like normal ? anything look different to when you had KK previously..?

Hello,
Yes it is running smooth. No lags, just like the day i bought it.
Sony logo is present at boot, yes. Maybe some stuff look a bit different because i was getting used to lollipop ! ?
Additional info :
build number : 14.4.A.0.157
android version : 4.4.4
I really cant remember where i downloaded the ftf file but it was not a official website, i think.

A question : Will a lower firmware (example 4.2 or 4.3 ) have a positive effect on the RAM ? for example phone being faster.

Hello,
I just recharged my phone within 10 minutes up to 50% ! Seems the KK firmware has indeed a positive effect on the battery. I am going to try JB and find out what it does on the battery and let you guys know.

The best way to speed up your device is to manage the limited RAM resource that such a small computer can have built into such a tiny space. Unwanted bloatware and 'uncontrolled' background applications use up too much RAM as ideally you should aim to never be using more than 30% of total RAM with the device just turned on and loaded...so when you open an app or go online to browse you have plenty of space to shuffle stuff around..... and that's why the clever guys here design Custom ROM's which run much faster because they are tuned to be more efficient than stock.
If you add to that having root access and the total control that comes with it you can end up with a much faster device by ensuring you only have the apps on board that you use and that none of them are running in the background unnecessarily. You can monitor your RAM and cache usage and learn how to adjust your app settings to get the best out of what you have constantly.
It's like any machine ... off the shelf works.... but if you tune it for optimum performance you'll get much more from it.

Indeed as Spudata rightly notes those letters represent regions and so you can tell from that your KK ftf you obtained and flashed is a customised from Russian origin. I would guess that when you first booted into set-up and were asked to select the language it 'may' have been on Russian by default and you had to scroll down to select your language of choice....?
If you ever decide to try out taking full control of your device and experiece the full power it has then the best time to experiment is when you get a new one so you can keep your old one to play with in case you manage to do some irreversible damage, tho that happening is becoming far less frequent with the tools that we have available nowadays thanks to the awesome work of the clever people who work to develop them and share here on XDA.
Enjoy
Thank you for reply guys.
@Lightning,
Yes indeed, i do not know if it was Russian but it was Cyrilic for sure, so yes most likely it is a Russian version. I assume there are also EURO versions out there ? Would it not be better for me to put a EU version ? ( I am from Netherlands).
Indeed, i am trying to learn more from you guys, after i have found my ideal firmware i am planning to put 4k video recording on the device and so on.
